Kara's career in Outer Banks property management began nearly two decades ago, when she started as a reservation agent with Village Realty in 2005. After obtaining her real estate license, she worked as rental manager for homeowners and vacationing guests for over 12 years. In recent years she gained valuable experience as renovations/asset manager, working closely with owners looking to maximize the investment potential in their vacation homes.

Brendan grew up in Chesapeake but was fortunate enough to spend lots of time visiting the Outer Banks at his parent’s beach home in Avon. The natural beauty, wildlife, water sports and fishing drew Brendan, his wife, and children here permanently in 2009. Before joining Village Realty, Brendan’s career was in banking and finance where he helped countless other families realize their dream of owning a piece of this heaven. Now he takes joy in helping Village Realty’s homeowners make the most of their investment.

In the past seven years, Brittany has worked in the vacation rental industry on the Outer Banks. She fell in love with the industry after her first summer after working as a reservations agent in Corolla and knew this was the career path she wanted to pursue. Growing up on the Outer Banks gave Brittany an appreciation for the ocean that has stayed with her. Working in the business of vacation rentals allows Brittany to share that love of the beach with our owners and guests.  

Joseph is a North Carolina native, growing up just West of Charlotte. He and his wife made the permanent move to the Outer Banks in 2022 and have loved it ever since. Joseph’s career in property management began five years ago, when he started as a leasing assistant for an apartment complex and rose through the industry to become the property manager of those very same apartments for two years. After obtaining his real estate license earlier this year, he began working as a rental manager helping homeowners maximize their rental potential and is excited to add his experience to the Village Realty team.

Hi there! I'm Miranda Mummert, a proud mom of a little spunky boy who keeps me on my toes. I was born and raised in Ohio, but I fell in love with the Outer Banks when I visited in 2017. I decided to make this beautiful place my home and I haven't looked back since. I love working with owners who share my passion for this amazing community. Let's work together to make your dreams come true!
